ABSTRACT
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the sacral lateral branches targets the innervation of the posterior sacroiliac ligaments and posterior portion of the sacroiliac joint, also referred to as the posterior sacroiliac joint complex. This review assesses the published evidence on local anesthetic blocks for the diagnosis of posterior sacroiliac joint complex pain and the efficacy of RFA of the sacral lateral branches as a treatment. The current evidence suggests that RFA can provide relief of pain that originates from the posterior sacroiliac joint complex, but interpretation of this literature is limited by variability in patient selection criteria, the specific nerves targeted for ablation, and the types of RFA technology and technique utilized.
